Has anyone ever dealt with the Netgear Stora?  It's a small box that 
hangs on your network, comes with a single 1TB drive.  There is a slot 
for a 2nd drive, which can be configured either as extra storage or a 
mirror.  I'm not in the mood to trust it a lot since it states that it's 
a non-standard format and you can just shove one of their drives into a 
computer and find the data.  It also demands that any drive installed is 
reformatted, so you cannot add data by adding a drive full of data.
